Assam......the
rich, green land of rolling plains and dense forests is the gateway to the
north eastern part of India. The mighty Brahmaputra river that has its origins
in Tibet charts its majestic course through this state. This mystic land of
eternal blue hills and beautiful rivers is renowned for its tea, rich flora
and fauna, the world famous one horned rhinoceros and other rare species of
wildlife on the verge of extinction. Barring Africa, there is perhaps no part
of the world where such a variety of wildlife exists.
Situated
between 90-96 degree East Longitute and 24-28 degree North Latitude, Assam
is bordered in the North and East by the Kingdom of Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh.
Along the south lies Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram. Meghalaya lies to her
South-West, Bengal and Bangladesh to her West.
